          Appeal No. 2006-1643                                       Παγε 24                          
          Application No. 09/845,589                                                                  

          style of three sizes of pictures on the same substrate and                                  
          printing them, pictures of different sizes displayed on the                                 
          single substrate, these limitations are met because nothing in                              
          the claim requires that different styles are presented to the                               
          user for selection, and in any event, the listing of portrait                               
          sizes and sheet configurations on page 4 of FJCP allows the user                            
          to choose the selection of three different sizes of the same                                
          picture on the same substrate as a page style.  In addition,                                
          using the printed pictures to form a collage as taught by Monn                              
          would meet the claim because the claim does not recite who forms                            
          the collage of scrapbook page.  From all of the above, we sustain                           
          the rejection of claim 25 for the same reasons as we sustained                              
          the rejection of claims 1, 15 and 23.                                                       
               We turn next to claim 26.  Appellants rely upon the                                    
          arguments presented for the reversal of the rejection of claim                              
          25.  In addition, appellants assert (brief, page 14) that FJCP                              
          and Monn do not contemplate “automatically selecting a set of                               
          scrapbook page assembly instructions responsive to the style                                
          where the instructions correlate to the series of images.                                   
               At the outset, we make reference to our findings, supra,                               
          with respect to the teachings and suggestions of FJCP and Monn.                             
          In FJCP, the user can automatically select the greeting (printed
